Frightening Moment Lumber Truck Loses Load, Sending Material Smashing Into Car
The frightening moment a load of lumber flew off a truck driving on an overpass and slammed into a car below was caught on a dashcam in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday, December 3.No one was injured in the incident, according to local reports.Derek Gooderham owns the dashcam that captured the dramatic moment the building materials flew down a hill and collided with a car on Interstate 83, sweeping it off the road.Gooderham told Storyful he was disoriented by the event as it happened, saying the boards looked like trees to him at first. “But after seeing it all unfold, it was an avalanche of 2x4s and 2x12s covering the highway,” he said.According to local news outlet WGAL, the road was briefly closed as crews worked for about four hours to clear debris.“I hate saying things like this, but that was probably the scariest thing that I have seen so far in my life,” Gooderham told WGAL. “I hope there’s nothing that tops that. It was pretty scary.” Credit: Derek Gooderham via Storyful
